2 Euscorpius Occasional Publications in Scorpiology EDITOR: Victor Fet, Marshall University, ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Michael E. Soleglad, Euscorpius is the first research publication completely devoted to scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Euscorpius takes advantage of the rapidly evolving medium of quick online publication, at the same time maintaining high research standards for the burgeoning field of scorpion science (scorpiology). Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for the publication of serious papers in scorpiology, including (but not limited to): systematics, evolution, ecology, biogeography, and general biology of scorpions. Review papers, descriptions of new taxa, faunistic surveys, lists of museum collections, and book reviews are welcome. Derivatio Nominis The name Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 refers to the most common genus of scorpions in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe (family Euscorpiidae). Euscorpius is located on Website at Marshall University, Huntington, WV , USA. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 4th Edition, 1999) does not accept online texts as published work (Article 9.8); however, it accepts CD-ROM publications (Article 8). Euscorpius is produced in two identical versions: online (ISSN ) and CD-ROM (ISSN ). Only copies distributed on a CD-ROM from Euscorpius are considered published work in compliance with the ICZN, i.e. for the purposes of new names and new nomenclatural acts. All Euscorpius publications are distributed on a CD-ROM medium to the following museums/libraries: ZR, Zoological Record, York, UK LC, Library of Congress, Washington, DC, USA USNM, United States National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution), Washington, DC, USA AMNH, American Museum of Natural History, New York, USA CAS, California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, USA FMNH, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA MCZ, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA MNHN, Museum National d Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France NMW, Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Vienna, Austria BMNH, British Museum of Natural History, London, England, UK MZUC, Museo Zoologico La Specola dell Universita de Firenze, Florence, Italy ZISP, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia WAM, Western Australian Museum, Perth, Australia NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Publication date: 28 April 2006

Box 27, CZ Praha 45, Czech Republic. 2 Department of Biological Sciences, Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia , USA. Summary Sassanidotus Farzanpay, 1987 is a valid genus closely related to Compsobuthus Vachon, 1949, with which it shares most characters including the shape of carinae on the carapace and mesosoma. The main difference is that Sassanidotus has only three granules located proximally to the terminal granule on the movable finger of pedipalp, whereas Compsobuthus and also Mesobuthus Vachon, 1950 have four such granules. Sassanidotus Farzanpay, 1987 includes two species, Sassanidotus zarudnyi (Birula, 1900) (type species) from Iran and Sassanidotus gracilis (Birula, 1900) stat. n. (=Buthus zarudnyi sarghadensis Birula, 1903, syn. n.) from Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan. The neotype is designated for S. zarudnyi. Abbreviations FKCP, František Kovařík Collection, Praha, Czech Republic; MNHN, Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, Paris, France; ZISP, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia. Introduction In a book on Iranian scorpions written in Farsi, Farzanpay (1987) described four new genera, of which three have already been revised. Olivierus Farzanpay, 1987 is a synonym of Mesobuthus Vachon, 1950 (syn. by Gantenbein et al., 2003: 4); Simonoides Vachon et Farzanpay in Farzanpay, 1987 is a synonym of Orthochirus Karsch, 1892 (syn. by Kovařík & Fet, 2006: 1). Razianus Farzanpay, 1987 (= Neohemibuthus Lourenço, 1996, syn. by Fet & Lowe, 2000: 216), however, is a valid genus. Examination of types (see below) shows the fourth genus, Sassanidotus Farzanpay, 1987 also to be valid. Systematics Sassanidotus Farzanpay, 1987 (Figs. 1 9, Table 1) Sassanidotus Farzanpay, 1987: 161, 221. Sassanidothus (incorrect subsequent spelling): Farzanpay, 1988: 41; Kovařík, 1993: 203; Fet & Lowe, 2000: 222. Type species: Buthus zarudnyi Birula, Diagnosis: Dorsal trichobothria of femur arranged in beta configuration. Trichobothrium d 3 on patella is located dorsally from DM c carina. Tibial spurs present on legs III and IV. Cheliceral fixed finger with two ventral denticles. Carapace with distinct carinae (Fig. 6), in lateral view with entire dorsal surface horizontal or almost horizontal. Central median and posterior median carinae of carapace fused into one linear carina. Movable finger of pedipalp with three granules located proximally to the terminal granule. Trichobothrium db on chela of pedipalp closer to esb or as far as est (Figs. 1 and 2). Tergites I VI tricarinate. Carinae of tergites projecting beyond posterior margin as distinct spiniform processes. Comments: The description of the genus Sassanidotus was published in a book by Farzanpay (1987: 161) in Farsi, and the Latin name was transliterated in the Farsi text as well. The Index in this book, however, included Latin names (p. 221, Sassanidotus; the original spelling with t, not th ), which technically makes this name available under Farzanpay s authorship (Fet & Lowe, 2000). The single species of Sassanidotus Farzanpay, 1987 listed by Fet & Lowe (2000) was formerly placed in the genera Buthus Leach, 1815 and Mesobuthus Vachon, In our opinion, Sassanidotus is a valid genus closely related to Compsobuthus Vachon, 1949, with which it shares most of the characters noted in the diagnosis above including the shape of carinae on the carapace. The main diagnostic difference is that Sassanidotus has only three granules located proximally

Sassanidotus gracilis (Birula, 1900), female holotype. to the terminal granule on the movable finger of pedipalp (fig. 26 in Vachon, 1958: 143), whereas species of Compsobuthus and also Mesobuthus always have four such granules (fig. 27 in Vachon, 1958: 143). This diagnostic character, first observed by Vachon (1958), was repeated by Farzanpay (1987: 161) in his brief Farsi description and key. Vachon (1958: , figs ) first suggested that the species originally known as Buthus zarudnyi Birula, 1900 does not belong to the genus Mesobuthus where it was previously placed (Vachon, 1950: 153; 1952: 325). Vachon, however, never published a new generic name for Buthus zarudnyi. Farzanpay (1988: 39, 40) listed the name (spelled with th as Sassanidothus, which constitutes an incorrect subsequent spelling) along with two other new scorpion genera, where he planned to be one of the authors: Olivierus (n. gen. to be described by Farzanpay & Vachon), Razianus (n. gen. to be described by Vachon & Farzanpay), and Sassanidothus (n. gen. to be described by Farzanpay & Vachon). In the introduction, he wrote (Farzanpay, 1988: 34): The new creations are based on the cooperation and suggestion of Professor Max Vachon of the Muséum national d Histoire naturelle in Paris as agreed by personal communication....(letter August 30, 1984). Unfortunately, no further descriptions of these genera by Vachon ever appeared until Vachon s death in 1992; there is also no evidence that Vachon was aware that descriptions of three new genera and one new species were published by Farzanpay (1987). About 20 specimens from Iran labeled Sassanidothus by Vachon exist in MNHN (pers. comm. from Wilson Lourenço to V.F., 1996). The genus Sassanidotus was never revised, and therefore was considered valid by Fet & Lowe (2000: 222), as well as other genera published in Farzanpay (1987), namely, Olivierus, Razianus, and Simonoides. The authorship of Olivierus, Razianus, and Sassanidotus, however, was assigned only to Farzanpay (1987) by Fet & Lowe (2000: 189, 216, 222) since they did not think that Vachon was responsible for the descriptions (quite incomplete and inadequate) as published by Farzanpay (1987). On complicated authorship of Simonoides (now confirmed as a junior synonym of Orthochirus), see Kovařík & Fet (2006).

Diagnosis: Total length of the examined male 34.4 mm. Fingers of pedipalps flexed proximally. Movable finger of pedipalp bears 11 rows of granules, all without external and with internal granules. Trichobothria db and est situated next to each other, approximately equidistant from esb and eb (Fig. 1). Intermediate carinae of metasomal segment II may reach three-quarters of segment length; metasomal segment III bears in place of intermediate carinae only about 10 posteriorly situated irregular granules; metasomal segment IV with lateral surface sparsely covered by granules that do not form rows or carinae. Tarsomere I of legs I to III with bristlecombs. Pectinal teeth number 22. Telson bulbous. Distribution. Iran (Birula, 1900a: 11). Comments: The holotype from Teheran, published by Birula (1900a), is absent from the collection of the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University (K. M. Mikhailov, pers. comm., April 2006), and therefore we consider it to be lost. The record and brief description of the male specimen from Seistan, which we examined, was published by the same author later (Birula, 1903: 70). Birula (1903) noted that there were no diagnostic differences (even at the level of subspecies) between the Teheran and Seistan males. Following Article 75 of the Code (ICZN, 1999), we designate here the Seistan male (ZISP 599) as a neotype. At the same time, Birula described Buthus zarudnyi gracilis (Birula, 1900) and B. z. sarghadensis Birula, 1903 as two separate subspecies. Sassanidotus gracilis (Birula, 1900), stat. n.

Male with manus of pedipalp much wider and fingers slightly flexed proximally. Movable fingers bear 11 rows of granules, of which first eight rows lack external granules and last three rows may have external granules. Internal granules present. Trichobothrium db situated between trichobothria est and esb (Fig. 2). Metasomal segments II to IV with eight carinae. Intermediate carinae of metasomal segment II are replaced by granules which may form incomplete carinae; metasomal segment III bears less posteriorly situated granules, which may reach mid-length of segment; metasomal segment IV bears only one posteriorly situated granule. Tarsomere I of legs I to III with bristlecombs. Pectinal teeth number in females and in males. Telson of adults bulbous. Distribution. Afghanistan (south; Vachon, 1958: 144), Iran (Birula, 1900b: 368), Pakistan (first record). Comments: Our investigation demonstrated no diagnostic differences between the holotype of Buthus gracilis Birula, 1900 and type series of Buthus zarudnyi sarghadensis Birula, The holotype specimen of Buthus zarudnyi sarghadensis Birula, 1903 was not designated in the original publication, or in any subsequent literature, although Fet & Lowe (2000: 223) quoted ZISP 1356 female as a holotype. The confusion was caused by the label designations of Birula, where ZISP 1356 female is labeled tip in Russian ( type ) but this designation has not been originally published. Following Articles 69 and 74 of the Code (ICZN, 1999), we designate ZISP 1356 female as a lectotype, and all other type specimens become paralectotypes.
9 Kovařík & Fet: Sassanidotus 7 Figure 8: Sassanidotus gracilis (Birula, 1900), female lectotype of Buthus zarudnyi sarghadensis Birula, 1903, dorsal aspect. Fet & Lowe (2000: 223) quoted Mashkim, between Dzhuolk-Kan and Mirkala, which was an erroneous transliteration from the Russian text of the label (Fig. 9). Birula (1903: 70) listed type locality (in German transliteration) as prov. Maschkil und Djalak auf dem Wege zwischen der Oertlichkeit Djuan-kan und dem Dorfe Mir-kala (=Kala-i-Mir). Mashkil corresponds to the modern Mashkel, a river in Seistan and Baluchistan Province (Ostan-e Sistan va Baluchestan) of Iran, at the country s southeastern border with Baluchistan Province of Pakistan. Djalak is modern Djalq or Jalq (27.60º N, º E), 270 km SE of Zahedan, where N. A. Zarudny s expedition arrived by the end of January, 1901 (Zarudny, 1916; see also Fet, 1997). Farzanpay (1988: 40) erroneously quoted Sassanidothus zarudnyi sarghadensis as a synonym of Razianus zarudnyi (Birula, 1903), which belongs to a completely different, valid genus (Fet & Lowe, 2000). The convoluted history of these confused names can be summarized as follows. The confusion started when Birula described two completely different species from Iran, both named after N. A. Zarudny who collected the types: Buthus zarudnyi Birula, 1900 (now Sassanidotus zarudnyi) and Hemibuthus zarudnyi Birula, 1903 (now Razianus zarudnyi). Later, Birula (1905) transferred Hemibuthus zarudnyi to the genus Buthus, and to avoid homonymy had to introduce a substitute name, Buthus zarudnianus Birula, Farzanpay (1988: 40) writes that Vachon considered for a time Buthus zarudnianus Birula, 1905 as a synonym of Mesobuthus zarudnyi (personal communication) but this testimony is doubtful and appears only to propagate the confusion. Birula s descriptions of two species are very clearly different. Farzanpay (1988: 40) mentioned the new genus Razianus to be described by Vachon & Farzanpay based on Hemibuthus zarudnyi Birula, Later, new genus Neohemibuthus and species, Neohemibuthus kinzelbachi, were described by Lourenço (1996). Fet (1997) analyzed the type material and synonymized Neohemibuthus kinzelbachi with Buthus zarudnianus Birula, 1905, therefore restoring the original specific epithet in combination Neohemibuthus zarudnyi (Birula, 1903). Finally, Lowe & Fet (2000) discovered that the name Razianus just like Sassanidotus was available under Farzanpay s
